Global challenges fill the news today. It's not always easy to balance fear with hope. That's why this book points to resources for optimism and action. A diverse group of scholars draw on Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and Māori traditions to describe challenges and hopes. They recognize the ruptures of militarism, trauma, colonialism, religious nationalism, climate change, and more. But they also describe the healing power of communal action, spiritual practices, biblical literature, and the arts.

Industry Reviews

“Step right up and marvel at the kaleidoscopic range of approaches to ‘the end’ found in this book! From ancient prophecy to the music of Metallica, from Western urban intellectuals to indigenous visionaries, this fabulous collection invites readers of all kinds to be intrigued and even inspired by the ways ‘the end’ generates art and ideas that challenge the status quo in many times and places. Highly recommended!”
—Wes Howard-Brook, co-author, Unveiling Empire: Reading Revelation Then and Now

“Dedicated ‘To a hopeful future,’ this anthology brings together art, music, interreligious insights, biblical theology, and more, to help us embrace the future. Countering negative end-times visions so prevalent in our culture, these interdisciplinary scholars show the spiritual power of apocalyptic urgency and imaginative hope for life on Earth. This is a wonderful book!”
—Barbara Rossing, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago

“The essays in this book invite the reader into diverse visions of end times. They show that we are not the first to face overwhelming challenge, and so offer us the company of the past. And more importantly, they show how others have found hope and inspiration in the midst of chaos, and suggest ways that we too may act with hope in our own time of crisis.”
—Mari Joerstad, Vancouver School of Theology
